Brit/pol/ #2354: We had the wrong thread number but I fixed it Edition

Score should've been 2-2 except the ref was rigged.

You forgot to mention the movie deal lad.

France wouldn't have let in that howler ifthey hadn't had such a comfortable lead.

Course she'll be making money one way or the other, I wonder how protective the Royals have been against her, she's an outsider who can't be trusted due to the suspicious circumstances of her meeting Harry.

Don't know about that, lad. What I do know is that France did not deserve based on the quality of their play, and the ref was as much to thank for their victory as any of their players. So irritating: not least because Croatia were all over them for basically the whole game. I know these things happen, but I've never known the ref to be so much a part of the upset - and definitely not in such a high profile game.

The French team should have been punching the air with surprise tbh. They were the worse team in every respect.

England does better than expected and reaches a historical moment in the tournament but loses:

Croatia does the exact same thing:

Success breeds jealousy.

All of the momentum was with Croatia. France's legitimate goals should have been an upset that kept them in the game. Instead, they were the final nails in Croatia's coffin. With a better ref, Croatia would have won tbh.
